I acquired a nihonto and would like some help authenticating and aging it. Its in very rough shape and is unsigned. 

 

The habaki and seppas are made of silver. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira all have gold\brass inlay.

Hi,

 

I agree with @lonely panet about Bizen Nakago. However, patina looks to fresh for Koto blade. Shinshinto tribute/copy of Sue-Bizen? 

 

Also this looks odd, maybe it is just due to the picture but ...
